I dont know, there are a few people that are only getting $10/acre, seriously, same guy has been renting those feilds for about 20 years. I am guessing owners just want it to stay as ag. Average nonirrigated land is going for $45/acre, irrigated $150-$250/acre. How this farmer has been able to get by with <$25 acre makes me wonder as well, alot of this land is pulling in twice that per acre just from program payments. I am having a hard time trying to get mine into this "EQIP" program because renter had it enrolled as "no till", I can't really do anything better (as NRCS puts it) for tillage conservation, so I have to wait a couple years and do conventional tillage and then re enroll, or do something else on that list. We are sandy around here so with the last 3 years of drought, non irrigated ground has dropped in demand, I think winter wheat would do OK in the mix in case the drought keeps up. Some land owners are in it for some income, others are after the Ag classification for taxes and like to see the land worked. I will pay up to $35 acre as I am just small potatoes and need to get in the game. I did pick up a 15 acre peice from a friend for $10/acre, thats all they want, he's just excited for the deer that might be dran in to his land in the fall.Works for me.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
